Tides.
Tides Carp! We have decided to bring our beloved Tides program to Carpinteria. We are so happy for all of our Carp families to experience and fall in love with Tides. What is Tides? Tides is a marine biology, hands-on exploration class. Led by our marine biologist teacher students will get a unique new marine biology lesson each session, games that incorporate what we're learning that week, and time to explore the beach and even tide pools as the tide allows. It's like a weekly beach/tide pool field trip with marine biology lessons, friends, collaborative games, and lots of fun!
Classes offered:
Wednesday (1st-8th) - Weekly marine biology lesson, beach exploration & tide-pooling, outdoor learning, nature-journaling, note-taking, reading, and beach play.
Fridays (1st-8th) - Weekly marine biology lesson, beach exploration & tide-pooling, outdoor learning, nature-journaling, note-taking, reading, and beach play.
Tides Wednesday is a 2 hour drop-off and Tides Friday is is a 2.5-hour drop-off marine biology program for children grades 1st - 8th, located in Carpinteria each week. Nature journals in hand, students learn about marine creatures, marine plants, birds, tide pools, ecosystems, and sustainability, all in a hands-on, exploratory learning environment. Tides is led by our wonderful and experienced head teachers and assistant teachers who love teaching children about the wonders of marine biology. Tides meets at a different one of our local beaches each week in order to experience different marine environments. These are small group classes of up to 14 students per group.

Here is the best part: we are conjoining Tides Carp with Farm to Table on Wednesdays and El Jardin Carp on Fridays! So, our students who come to Farm to Table on Wednesday (10-3) and/or El Jardin on Fridays (from 10-2), now have the option of staying for Tides directly after school! For parents of students at Farm to Table and/or El Jardin, they now get an extra 2/2.5 hours of time their kids are in learning programs! Wednesday/Friday students can get 2 programs on the same day! Tides students will get to explore the beautiful beaches within walking distance right around the farm. Ages 6 and up are welcome.
